Mool Mantar




The Mool Mantar (, '''Mūl Maṃtar''', '''Mool Mantra''') is the most important composition contained within the Guru Granth Sahib ; it is the basis of Sikhism . Its importance is emphasised by the fact that it is the first composition to appear in the Granth and that it appears before the commencement of most of the Raag s within the Granth.

The Mool Mantar is said to be the first composition uttered by Guru Nanak upon enlightenment at the age of 30. Being the basis of Sikhism it encapsulate the entire theology of Sikhism, and as a result, it is also the most difficult composition to fully understand. The proceeding Japji Sahib and the rest of the Guru Granth Sahib totalling 1430 pages, are efforts to explain that which is contained within the Mool Mantar.
